Chapter 113: Don’t Waste Words with Him
As the distress signal was launched from the count’s residence, countless people in the Holy Capital City quickly became alarmed.
Soon, many magicians rushed toward the count’s residence.
High in the sky, Li Xiaojun floated in the air.
Noticing the situation, he frowned.
Then, a powerful pressure descended upon the newly arrived magicians.
“This is a private matter; everyone stand back.”
Feeling Li Xiaojun’s overwhelming pressure, the magicians flying toward the count’s residence fell from the sky like dumplings.
At that moment, everyone was horrified.
Under Li Xiaojun’s powerful pressure, no one dared to approach from that direction again.
In the royal palace, some had noticed the commotion at the count’s residence.
“You madman, how dare you attack my imperial count’s residence in broad daylight?”
“General He Qingshan, go and bring me the lunatic who attacked the count’s residence,” a commanding voice resonated through the palace.
“Yes.”
Quickly, under the guidance of a sixth-tier magic tutor, a group of people flew toward the count’s residence.
At the count’s residence, Chen Zishan had swiftly knocked out a group of guards whose magic was sealed.
In less than two minutes, she cornered Count Li Yao in a courtyard.
Learning that escape was impossible, Count Li Yao showed no signs of panic this time.
Instead, he quietly remained in the courtyard, waiting for Chen Zishan’s arrival, displaying the dignity expected of an imperial count.
“Who are you? Why have you come to attack my count’s residence?”
Count Li Yao looked at Chen Zishan, trying to recall when he might have offended such a person.
In truth, this woman was not what he feared most.
What he feared most was the man in the sky.
“Count Li Yao, do you remember the Black Tiger Mercenary Group from twenty years ago?” Chen Zishan spoke in a calm tone, her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Count Li Yao.
“The Black Tiger Mercenary Group? What about it?” Count Li Yao feigned confusion, but no one noticed that her pupils had suddenly contracted.
“My father was a member of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group. You had him killed along with my mother. What deep hatred could our family have for you? Why did you do this?”
Chen Zishan questioned Count Li Yao with a stern voice.
Upon hearing her words, Count Li Yao understood. He realized why this person had come to his door.
It turned out this woman had a connection to the Black Tiger Mercenary Group, which made sense.
Twenty years ago, he had supported the rise of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group, and later, he had them carry out some dirty work for him, including attacking and killing a rival who was also a baron.
In the end, to keep the secret, he had his subordinates kill everyone in the Black Tiger Mercenary Group.
Now, looking back, he regretted not eliminating them completely when he had the chance. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have done everything to wipe them out entirely!
Hearing Chen Zishan’s words, Count Li Yao thought for a moment and said, “Little girl, I believe there’s some misunderstanding between us.”
Of course, he would not admit that he had killed the Black Tiger Mercenary Group and her parents.
So, he planned to buy time.
The person before him dared to attack the imperial count’s residence so openly; the royal palace would surely intervene.
Otherwise, if he, as an imperial count, were to be killed like this, it would be a devastating blow to the empire’s prestige.
“Little girl, I think you are mistaken. I have no knowledge of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group; you must have the wrong person.”
“You’re talking nonsense! I heard from my parents who said they had done something for you and were to be silenced. Then that very night, my parents were killed by your men…” Chen Zishan felt frantic.
She never expected this man to be so shameless as to deny what he had done years ago.
“Little girl, you genuinely misunderstand. I collaborated with many mercenary groups back then; there were so many that I don’t even remember the names of all of them.”
“That Black Tiger Mercenary Group you mention…”
Just as Count Li Yao continued to try to defend himself, a voice interrupted him from the sky.
“Zishan, don’t waste words with him; just take him out,” Li Xiaojun said to Chen Zishan.
Hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Chen Zishan replied, “Master, I want to know why my parents died back then.”
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaojun lightly said, “He probably won’t admit it if you ask him that. Let me help you.”
After speaking, Li Xiaojun waved his hand, and a spell quickly entered Count Li Yao’s body.
The next moment,
“Ah—ah…”
A heart-wrenching scream erupted.
Count Li Yao’s body began to ooze countless beads of blood, like sweat, quickly staining his entire body red.
In less than a moment, he turned into a bloodied figure.
“Ah—kill me, kill me—”
It was clear he was in a pain worse than death.
“I—I’ll tell you, just let me go…”
Li Xiaojun waved his hand, and the agony disappeared from Count Li Yao.
“Speak,” he said lightly.
If he wanted to find out why Count Li Yao had killed Chen Zishan’s parents, Li Xiaojun had simpler methods.
For example, he could directly perform Soul Searching or use his primordial spirit to control his mind and make him reveal the secrets.
However, Li Xiaojun chose the most cumbersome method: torture.
Feeling the pain vanish, Count Li Yao gasped for breath, and his gaze toward Chen Zishan and Li Xiaojun was filled with fear.
“Speak quickly, don’t hesitate. Do you want to continue experiencing extreme pain?” Li Xiaojun’s voice echoed lightly.
“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you! It was because…”
Next, Count Li Yao revealed the reason behind the killing of Chen Zishan’s parents.
“You’re not being honest.”
However, as soon as Count Li Yao spoke the reason, Li Xiaojun waved his hand once again.
The next moment,
Count Li Yao began rolling on the ground.
This time, Li Xiaojun sealed his mouth, preventing him from screaming in agony.
A few minutes later, Li Xiaojun waved his hand, releasing the spell on him.
As the pain vanished, Count Li Yao collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.
“Now, speak. I want to hear the truth this time,” Li Xiaojun asked in a calm tone.
“I… I ordered the Black Tiger Mercenary Group to kill Baron Roland, and then I had my subordinates eliminate the members of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group to silence them…”
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaojun turned to Chen Zishan. “Did you hear that? Take action.”
“Alright,” Chen Zishan nodded, drew her flying sword, and prepared to eliminate Count Li Yao.
“Who dares to commit murder in the Holy Capital City…”
At that moment, a sharp voice rang out.
Then, several beams of light flew swiftly towards the count’s residence.
Seeing this, Chen Zishan’s expression changed dramatically.
In the next moment, she acted quickly.
Whoosh!
The flying sword severed Count Li Yao’s head.
“Master, we need to leave quickly,” Chen Zishan urged anxiously to Li Xiaojun.
“Not so fast,” Li Xiaojun waved his hand lightly. Then, with a motion, the head that Chen Zishan had cut off flew into Li Xiaojun’s hand!
Soul Searching!
Soon, Li Xiaojun found the memories related to silencing the Black Tiger Mercenary Group within Count Li Yao’s mind.
From Count Li Yao’s memories, Li Xiaojun saw who had acted against the Black Tiger Mercenary Group.
The next moment, he expanded his divine sense.
Within seconds, Li Xiaojun identified all the people involved in that incident in the Holy Capital City.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The bursts of energy flew off in all directions, reaching many places in the blink of an eye.
